Committee on Special Awards (CoSA) (MSSM)

Many foundations restrict the number of grants applications that can be submitted from any single institution. In these cases, applications are reviewed by the Committee on Special Awards. Primary reviewers present the proposal to the Committee for discussion, Each member votes afterward by secret ballot and ranks the proposal. Based on their ranking, the Committee recommends applications to the Dean for his approval. To see a listing of special grant, scholarship and fellowship opportunities, please visit the Upcoming Awards section of the CoSA Web site.
